Food is outstanding! One of the best Hawaiian food places in the valley. 10/10 food, 10/10 service. Today Juliah and GC were great! Super friendly and really embodied the island hospitality. Will return for more Dole whip and katsu chicken! read more

Whoever was on today's opening shift schedule (10/31) could've been a little nicer. (Two guys) They didn't have a welcoming atmospher, felt like I got stared down just for walking in. This was my first time trying the place. The guy assembling the food acted like he didn't want to take my order. I repeated the first part of my order 2-3 times and he just looked at me. ...Luckily the food was good. I'd like to come back just not when those two guys are working. read more

Recently ordered lunch while in town for work. Only about 5 minutes from the office so it was very convenient. I ordered the Regular plate with Polehu steak and spicy poke. The steak was very good. Well seasoned and had a ton of flavor. There were not fatty pieces. Great for eating around coworkers. The spicy poke was delicious! I love Hawaiian style poke (not a poke bowl) and it was everything I hoped for. Slightly spicy, creamy, great flavor and fresh tasting ahi. The white rice was nice and sticky and the mac salad was great, not the best I have had but every recipe is a little different. I would happily return next time I am in Phoenix! read more

Moku Hawaiian Grill - Regular plate with Polehu steak and spicy poke - Hawaiian Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I was a little bit concerned when all the meat is premade, and I'm happy to say it is absolutely delicious! I got teriyaki chicken and Kailua pork, alongside two scoops of rice, and two giant scoops of Mac salad. Plus, I gave into impulse and got some Spam Musabi. Due to the generous portions of the main order, I wish I had not gotten the musabi. Plus, it wasn't my favorite. read more

Parking: Easy, open, and free. I should note that I'm from California, so my palate may differ. Portions were generous, but the chicken katsu was unseasoned. Someone in the back simply deep-fried it and called it a day. The katsu sauce tasted more like a mix of BBQ sauce and ketchup, lacking the umami depth and subtle sweetness I usually expect. The mac salad was decent, though I prefer Ono's version by a wide margin. Service was quick and efficient, done Chipotle-style where they assemble your bowl in front of you. The ambiance was relaxed and fast-casual. Overall, it wasn't a bad experience, but it's not a place I'd return to. read more

For work I had to place and pick up a catering order for an all day training for 12-15 people. I asked some of the team members what they'd recommend, and they mentioned this place for something more unique than pizza or sandwiches. It looked like a cute location and had very reasonable catering prices. I was able to place the order online, and the pick up was so easy! The food was delicious and stayed warm how they packaged it. Definitely recommend for a catering order, and may have to try them out for a lunch on my own soon! read more

thanks to GC and Corey, our night out was nothing short of a magical Hawaiian experience. It was my first time and I've never heard of the flavors before and they were so patient with showing me each one and helping me select the best plate possible. They even helped me match the sauces. thanks so much guys. Mahalo! read more

Aloha! I stopped in and tried a regular plate with Kalua pork and katsu chicken. I chose Mac salad, and green salad for my sides and it came with rice. The staff were friendly and the food was very good. Definitely satisfied my craving for Hawaiian food. It has a great vibe. Inside there is plenty of seating as well as outside. And a good amount of parking too. A very good experience. read more

Friendly staff and good food! Popped in here for lunch a couple weeks ago. Not from the Ahwatukee area but was craving Hawaiian food and noticed this place had good reviews. Not disappointed with my choice to stop by, it was an overall enjoyable experience. My partner and I each got a Regular plate and shared a side of Poke. For meats we got the Katsu chicken, Kalua pork, Teriyaki chicken, and Mochiko chicken. All were great. For sides we got the Mac Salad, Garlic Edamame, and Kimchi slaw. All were good; except my boyfriend noted the Kimchi slaw was lacking in flavor/seasoning. Would stop by again if in the area! read more

Easiest way to say this is it is a Panda Express type of setup. Food is precooked and held on the service line. We had the regular choice. Food was decent for what it was. More affordable than most "Hawaiian" establishments. Two plates, 1/4 poke for less than $40. I wished the mochiko chicken was more like mochiko chicken and not teriyaki beef but minor concern. We went in at 8:15pm and all the chairs were up and floor was wet from mopping. Looks like they were closing even if the sign said 9pm. No big deal, we are in the car. This said, staff were polite and pleasant. Other than it looking like they were closed we didn't feel rushed to order. Eating in the car in the dark didn't provide a good photo opportunity so no photos taken. Portions were good. Poke was surprisingly decent. Note: we wanted to try the chicken katsu but it wasn't available. read more

Food was incredible, will be our new spot for Hawaiian food. Convenient to get to, portion sizes are shareable.

We've been going for years now. Never had a bad plate or experience. Flavorful and healthy, lots of options. Dole whip is dairy free which is amazing for people who are lactose intolerant but still want a sweet treat. Chicken katsu has a nice crunch and the spicy poke is just spicy enough for flavor. Bummed to be moving away and definitely will have to be back read more

Fast service. Food was satisfactory. Restaurant was clean. Overall no complaints but no wow factor. But they serve dole whip

I ordered a kid-size meal with white rice, kalua pig, and mac salad. The rice was as expected, perfectly cooked and bland just waiting for some Aloha Shoyu on top of it. The kalua pig reminded me of home, in Hawaii. The perfect amount of salt and smoke. The mac salad was the perfect addition to my combo. It was the correct consistency, right flavor, and creamy deliciousness. read more

WOW! Such great customer service . Chantel and Keon were so accommodating and helpful. Even when they ran out of an item they gave us a call multiple times and made sure we were taken care of. The food was AMAZING so fresh and delicious. 10/10 would recommend. read more

I was really craving Hawaiian food and we wanted to try something new. Moku has great reviews so I was excited to try it. They offer many proteins such as moku chicken, teriyaki chicken, steak, and even poke! I liked that they allow you to sample. I was curious to try the moku chicken and it was delicious at first bite! It's sweet and savory. The teriyaki chicken sample that I ate was dry. I ended up ordering the large plate which comes with 3 proteins and 2 sides. I doubled up on the moku chicken and ordered the Hawaiian poke with mac salad and kimchi slaw. If there's one thing you should know about me, it's that I'm picky about my carbs, especially the rice. It wasn't the traditional short grain sticky rice. It was a little dryer and it was unpleasant. As I dug into the moku chicken, many pieces were dry, just like the teriyaki chicken that I sampled. It was definitely overcooked but other pieces were decent. The mac salad and kimchi were just okay. The Hawaiian poke is their saving grace. It's actually pretty good and I wish I had more of it. My fiance ordered the same thing but with steak and he said it was overcooked as well. I'm not sure if we went on a bad day but I was disappointed. I've also been to Maui before and had fantastic Hawaiian food. This place didn't meet the mark. read more

Came in for some dole whip on a Saturday around 6:30 p.m. There were two workers.m and a couple people dining in. They only had the large sized drinking cups with strawberry flavor. That cup is $5.75 with a lid. They said they won't have the pineapple flavor until Tuesday. Sad day! read more

Moku Hawaiian Grill - Store front - Hawaiian Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Foods good, but I noticed that one of the managers doesn't work there anymore had long black hair he was very helpful and kind, was thorough with the menu and made me feel welcomed, I really stopped coming because he's not there no more vibe isn't the same and customer service slacked ever since kind of a bummer really :/ hope he comes back read more

I messed up my order and the guys were more willing to help me than any other big chain would have been. Shop small!

Solid 4 Stars Mom had an appointment at the medical offices next door and the aroma coming out of Moku Hawaiian Grill almost had me floating in the air and carrying me in like you would see the cartoons! This is my first trip to Moku Hawaiian Grill and oh boy I found a place that I look forward to returning and exploring more menu items! It is located in a very small unassuming strip mall. When you walk in you will find a relatively clean dining area. It is spread out with lots of room. The only thing that stood out were some garbage enclosures(fast food type with a slot where you would throw your garbage into) pushed against one of the walls. Not sure if they're waiting to be installed or waiting to be scrapped. I walk up to the counter to place my order and the young man who helps me is very polite and efficient with taking my order and getting to the person behind me. They are set up cafeteria style where everything is laid out on their counter in steam tables/coolers and a sneeze guard that separates the customer side of the line. I went with a "Regular Plate". It comes with two scoops of your choice of brown or white rice, two proteins and two sides. It is more than enough to take leftovers back or share with someone. For my proteins, I went with Teriyaki Steak and Pulehu Steak. For my sides, I went with double Macaroni Salad. Being trained from all the other Hawaiian Grills I've been to where this is the standard curated plate. I can't wait to try out other sides on my next trip! For being cafeteria style, OMG both steak options were tender, moist and delicious! I very much enjoyed my meal at Moku Hawaiian Grill. If I had to pick one item that is a red flag and caused me not to give this place a perfect score was the men's bathroom, I can't speak about the condition of the woman's bathroom. It was not filthy, but it could use some cleaning. The bathroom itself is in desperate need of remodeling. It is as if they worked on the entire place and ran out of energy to make it nice. The food itself was excellent. The entire vibe could have been much better if the bathroom was clean and a place you do not want to escape out of as soon as your business is done! read more

Moku Hawaiian Grill 4302 E Ray RdUnit 114 Phoenix, AZ February 17, 2023 Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Portion size: 4/5 Visit: Brought my daughter for lunch to try our new favorite authentic Hawaiian food in Ahwatukee. Food: We ordered one Bowl which comes with two entrees and 2 scoops of white/ brown rice. For our bowl we chose white rice with one extra scoop for $1.50 with Pulehu chicken. For dessert we got Val her favorite "Dole Whip cup." Service: Take out, Service was great and food was prepared correctly and under 5 minutes through the line, Didn't like how undercooked the Dole was served for $5 that was disappointing the way around this for future customers reference is to make sure you order the dole for "Dine-In" make sure no top so they can fill it and make it into come size! service was fast and Lunch for 2 with dessert only cost us $18. read more

Worst experience tonight at the Ray Rd in Ahwatukee tonight with the only girl on the line. she was rude and just slapped the food in the tin plate. I asked her for 1 scoop of rice after seeing her slap my husbands plate with mounds of rice. in which he asked for brown rice and she just said we don't have any. We run businesses and if this was my employee she would be talked to or shown the door. i would definitely make my employees are not wearing ear buds when customers are ordering and working the line. she was not wearing a name tag. Also what happened to the meats being cut up instead of these massive chunks? Service was poor. Sad considering we enjoyed Moku read more

1st bowl: Teriyaki chicken, katsu chicken, garlic edamame & sweet corn. 2nd bowl: teriyaki steak, mochiko chicken, salted edamame & mac salad. Both bowls were really good in their own way but I did prefer the teriyaki chicken because it had more flavor than the steak. And the steak was very chewy (well done). Katsu chicken was perfectly breaded & fried. Garlic edamame was better than the salted- salted was bland. We tried a spicy sauce, which reminded me of Heinz 57, and a teriyaki sauce which was very good. Service was good & quick and the place was clean. read more

Service was quick but employees were very rude. Food was really good aside from the meats which were dry and lacked flavor. I loved the Kimchee slaw and the dole whip is very good. Nice size restaurant and it wasn't too busy during dinner. read more

Moku Hawaiian Grill - Teriyaki chicken and kalua pork with Mac salad and kimchee slaw. - Hawaiian Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Went here for the first time with some family. The menu is very simple which is nice so you can easily pick what you want. The service was fast, our plates were ready in under a few minutes. The staff behind the counter weren't very friendly though. The cost is reasonable for the large portion sizes. The kimchi salad is hot, I didn't care for it, but if you like hot things, I'm sure it will be your jam. I had the katsu chicken and mochiko chicken and they were both good. Mac salad is okay. We all shared a dole whip and it was so good. The inside has a lot of seating. Overall, if I was on that side of town again, I would return. read more

I met my friend here for lunch and it was not too busy. There was not a ton of parking but it was not an issue for me. The menu was simple which was good and I knew what I wanted. I ordered the regular plate with teriyaki chicken, sweet corn, macaroni salad, and added poke (ahi tuna). The teriyaki chicken was good and same with the sweet corn and macaroni salad. The poke was delicious and definitely lived up to what my friend said about it which was it was one of the better poke that he could find out in the valley. I definitely would recommend the poke here and the teriyaki chicken if you weren't sure what to order. Good place for Hawaiian food and I would recommend it. read more

Moku Hawaiian Grill - Regular plate with teriyaki chicken, sweet corn, macaroni salad, and poke (ahi tuna) - Hawaiian Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Had to try something new. This one's okay. Kimchi's a bit bland but good. Pelohu beef was fine, pork is good.

I am so proud of Moku's since day one. Ono (delicious) food and service is nice too. I went to Moku's last weekend after being away for maybe 3 months or so. I must share one pretty big disappointment in one obvious change. Your mac salad that is being served now is a complete 180, a departure from the original. I don't understand why you would serve something that is not true to the local plate lunch taste and not tasty. Giving a 3.5 rating because the katsu chicken, mochiko chicken, rice, and edamame were on point. The mac salad change is a big deal IYKYK. read more

They changed the macaroni salad. It used to be so good. Now I think it is just pre made boxed macaroni salad. Please bring back your original. read more

Great local find to my new neighborhood of Awahtukee. A friend and I dined here months ago after a crazy sunset post-work hike in South Mountain, not knowing i'd be down the street from it present day! Was looking for something not crazy expensive and different from our usual sports bars. The pics do it no justice- it's really great bang for your buck! It was fairly dead when the two of us stopped by so the employee explained the different meats, how it works, etc. So here I am again coming back now that I live closer! My fave parts of the build your own plate are the pork and the teriyaki chicken and the macaroni salad. Macaroni salad is no way an actual salad BUT it is SO GOOD, especially with a little bite of the pork and rice. It's a healthy portion of food for $11 (regular plate), I normally can't it it all. AND - Dole Whip. Don't have to say more. Just call Moku your friendly family-owned Hawaiian chipotle. :D read more

Fast, friendly service and delicious quality food. I will be returning and recommending family/friends.

This is one of the best Hawaiian joints I've tried in Phoenix as of so far (aside from Hapa Food Co.)! This restaurant is located in Ranch Circle Place right across from The Kolache Cafe, and parking is easy to find in the lot within the plaza. The restaurant itself is a "build-your-own" style similar to Chipotle, so you walk up to the window and immediately start building your bowl or plate. I got a bowl with two scoops of white rice, two scoops of Hawaiian poke, and two sides of salted edamame. My order was promptly assembled and came out to a reasonable price given the portion size (which is pretty generous, esp in comparison to other places). I quite liked my food! The poke was cut into thick cubes and was coated in a tasty sauce. The ratio of fish to rice was pretty good as well, and I appreciated that they offered the side of edamame (again something that other places skimp on). The edamame was a little too salty but given that the poke was the star of the dish, I didn't mind too much. I would definitely come back to get my poke fix!! read more

Moku Hawaiian Grill - two scoops of Hawaiian poke - Hawaiian Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Food, and service was amazing. First Hawaiian food I have tried in AZ. My fav part is the macaroni salad.

Was in the area and desperate to grab something I can't typically get in my town. Decided to try this place and wasn't expecting much. I was surprised when I took my first bite of the Mochiko Chicken and the Kimchi Slaw. Everything that I ate there was perfect! The Mochiko Chicken is so flavorful and the Kimchi Slaw is a really unique menu item that I'm happy to say was very tasty! It truly had the best parts of Kimchi and Coleslaw combined. I highly recommend! The service was also on the faster side and the employees were all very friendly. Really wish I lived closer to this location. I would become a regular if it weren't so far from me. Looking forward to the next time I visit. Try this place! read more

Moku Hawaiian Grill - Mochiko Chicken (top), Teriyaki Chicken (bottom), white rice, sweet corn, and Kimchi Slaw - Hawaiian Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I asked my Bf if he thought he'd like this place more than his favorite Hawaiian place. He gave me a doubtful glance, followed by "We'll see." Moku is a fast food style Hawaiian grill: you build a plate with hot, ready items. I opted for a regular which is 2 meats and 2 sides. I ordered the kalua pork and mochiko chicken and subbed rice for an extra side: Kimchi slaw, Mac salad, and corn. Bf ordered a large which is 3 meats, 3 sides: katsu chicken, teriyaki chicken, and pulehu steak; subbed rice for an extra side of Mac salad and a green salad. We also HAD to get the pineapple dole whip and chose the swirl with strawberry. While dine in is an option, we chose to take our dinner to go. The mochiko chicken was my fave! The glaze/seasoning was flavorful and all of the chicken we had was moist and tender! Even in the white meat katsu! Get the katsu sauce to dip it in! Bf's second favorite was the pulehu steak! The pork was a welcome different texture, and although some Yelpers found it to be salty, I did not. The pork was good but I'd probably skip it next time. As for sides we enjoyed the kimchi slaw! It had a nice tang to it. We love Mac salad and the Mac salad was creamy and delicious! The corn was regular sweet corn and I'd probably skip it next time unless you love corn. The green salad was really just arugula but Bf enjoyed the ginger dressing he chose. The pineapple/strawberry dole whip swirl was amazing! The strawberry added a nice contrast. It was about $2 and some change for the large. I chose not to add a lid so I'd get extra, haha! Definitely get it! (And message me if you want to know where else you can get pineapple whip with soft serve!) We LOVED moku and although it's a bit of a drive for us, we will definitely be back! The only thing that'd bump it up to 5 stars would be if they had kalbi! For that reason it can't replace bf's fave :/ close though! 4.5 stars! read more

Stumbled on this place after an appointment nearby. Sounded good, so we tried it. We ordered a variety of things. The sweet corn is salty. Very salty. The kimchi isn't really kimchi, though is not bad (I actually don't like kimchi, but this was different). For the entrees, the Palehu chicken tastes like a grilled chicken. Good, but just chicken. No evidence of sauce or seasoning. The Mochiko chicken has different seasoning, and was the best thing we had. Much more flavorful than the Palehu. Overall, not blown away here. Service was friendly. Good seemed to be fresh. But nothing really special. read more

Moku Hawaiian Grill - Large plate - Hawaiian Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

This is definitely one of those bang-for-your buck places I like to eat at. I have a list of a few fast-casual restaurants that I visit regularly and Moku Hawaiian Grill is one of them. You get so much food for under $10. I first discovered Moku awhile back when Hawaiian Style Bakery had a pop-up here. They've been around for a couple years now. The owner of this place was born and raised in Oahu. And we are fortunate enough here in the Valley to get to enjoy the flavors from his home. Moku is located in a pretty good spot in Ahwatukee not too far from the I-10. For food, Moku serves Hawaiian cuisine over brown or white rice in a bowl or on a plate with sides. Food is ordered at the counter. They have Hawaiian favorites like Kalua pork, Pulehu, Katsu and Teriyaki chicken. I've been here a few times and the Kalua chicken is currently the front-runner for my favorite protein choice. It is so tasty. You can upgrade to premium meats like the popular Mochiko wings or Ahi Tuna. Sides include macaroni salad, kimchee slaw, edamame or sweet corn. It's seriously a lot of food and worth the $9 for a plate with two sides (check out my photos!) I always go home with extra. If you are a Disneyland junkie like me, you love getting a Dole Whip soft serve when visiting the Magic Kingdom. Well, Moku serves Dole Whip soft serve in a cup or a cone and it tastes just like Disney's version. I always do a strawberry pineapple swirl. They also have an assortment of Hawaiian Suns next to the ordering counter. It's the perfect refresher for a hot Arizona summer day. If you are a big fan of island cuisine at an affordable price like me, Moku Hawaiian Grill is a good choice. read more

My family had an amazing dinner at Moku! Wish they would open a spot Tucson. But I would be there too often and my waistline can't take that. The service was friendly and quick. They patiently explained some of the styles of meat that i hadn't had yet. The prices were very reasonable. My wife and kids each got the kids meal, which came with one protein, a scoop of rice and one side. They were super satisfied and had room left for dole whip. I did the two meat, two scoops of rice, mac salad and kimchee slaw. I definitely didn't eat all the rice. We shared two Hawaii sun drinks, which was a great accompaniment. Pro tip is to get make a dole whip float with the Hawaiian sun!!! Next time I'm in Phoenix I'm going to make it a priority to get back here. read more
